Great for kids

07-05-2016

My 7yr old daughter Kate has been at ACTiv for 3 years. She loves it & never wants to miss a class. It's relaxed & lots of fun! The best part about ACTiv (apart from the awesome teaching) is the beautiful role models she had around her. The ACTiv group of teens are such lovely kids & treat Kate & myself with so much respect! I love the positive influence & behaviour they all have on her. Charrisse is always there for us parents & is open & positive! The best thing I've ever done for my Kate!

4 Reasons why Performing Arts is more than just a hobby

It's frustrating when something their child enjoys is ranked lower on a parent's priority list when compared to their grades at school. Is it really more important for a painfully shy 8 year old to have top grades than developing confidence?
Their grades at school won't help them stick up for themselves in the playground and coming first in their maths class won't help them sell their skills in a job interview.
But taking part in the performing arts will help and this is why...Read more

My daughter loved doing the third day of drama last Friday. She was annoyed that she didn't do the full three days. We will definitely be considering doing 3 days next term.

A wonderful creative learning opportunity

17-07-2017

The 3 day workshop was a first for my son, I wasn't too sure how he'd go as it was at a new place and no familiar faces around. But when I picked him up after the first day, he was all smiles and gave it a 60 out of 10 he loved it that much!
Amy was brilliant, her kindness, skill and experience in working with children was obvious and my son quickly warmed to her.
Days later my son is still reciting quotes from the performance and talking of his time spent with new friends he met there.
I have no hesitation in recommending Viva Voice and am planning to register again for the next school holiday workshop.

Holiday Shakespeare Workshop

19-04-2017

I loved the Shakespeare workshop at Viva Voice. Kristen (our teacher) made the workshop fun and we got to play lots of really addictive group games. I also learned a lot of different words that Shakespeare used and interesting facts about Shakespeare plays. I will definitely be back for another workshop.

Inspiring !

My daughters describe these workshops as awesome! Well organised and executed to entertain and challenge the kids. My usually very shy daughter fully participated in the end of workshop performance. Great work!

Having recently completed the Communication and presenting skills course with Tracy, I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone needing a bit of a boost with their presentation skills.
My goal was to create a more imposing presence in the corporate meeting room forum. We workshopped plenty of theoretical and practical ideas from preparation and state of mind right through to audience analysis, always focussing on the goal of delivering the message in character.
Across the duration, Tracy’s background in drama, acting and expression was evident and invaluable in creating both the knowledge and awareness I needed to start unlocking my potential.
Her drive for results became a mantra for me in terms of embedding the lesson material in my own time. With this impetus I was able to feel satisfied that my goal had been achieved and am now using that as a solid platform for continuous improvement.
Thank you Tracy for your passionate and inspirational way of coaching. I really feel confident of falling back on the fundamentals of performance and their application in the corporate arena.
By Stuart Grantham (student of Tracy)

Glowing Review

13-04-2016

Tracy is an established international performer in her own right.
She hared her ‘gift’ while teaching my son Callan when he was cast for his first Musical Theatre role as Oliver in the musical of the same name. As the Director of this Musical she took a young athlete into a totally different field resulting in a fabulous success for both her student and the production.
Subsequently she tutored Callan in the Trinity Musical Theatre Exams where he topped the state of NSW performing scenes from Oliver, Sweeney Todd, Billy Elliott and sang from the soundtrack of “Lord of the Rings”. During the 3 years Callan worked with Tracy he was invited to audition for excellent roles in Television and Film in both Australia and the USA. Callan subsequently secured roles in several of these including Packed to the Rafters as well as the lead in two films. The Australian Award winning short FRANSWA SHARL Director by Australian Hannah Hilliard and the soon to be released FLIPPED Directed by Mr Rob Reiner in the USA. We have found Tracy to not only be a fantastic and creative force in Callan’s life but also a great support – when the going get’s tough – as it can on occasion in the Performing Arts. She is part of our team on our journey in this industry and we look forward to working with her and to also watching her perform for many years to come.
